NJIT was an easy choice for me because of its strong reputation and high employment rates for graduates. Family members who attended the university had nothing but great things to say, and after learning more about the CIM program, I was hooked.

I’ve been fortunate to participate in two summer internships with Silvi Materials as a quality control technician. These experiences allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained in the classroom to real-world scenarios at plants and job sites. The internships have been invaluable in building my technical expertise and understanding of the industry.

Attending industry events and conventions has also been a highlight of my CIM experience. These experiences reinforced the program’s unique ability to build networks that extend beyond the classroom.

My interactions with CIM Patrons have been equally impactful. Through CIM Patrons meetings, I have connected with industry professionals who provide guidance and support. It was through events like these that I secured my internship with Silvi Materials after my freshman year—a pivotal moment in my educational journey.
